Creatives Rule the World

Tracy Matthews

This show is for creators who are done playing small, the ones who know their ideas aren’t just a passion... they’re a portal

Here, we’re rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship.
Forget cookie-cutter blueprints and burnout culture, I’m here to help you grow a business that feels good, pays well, and the kind of personal freedom that only comes when you’re brave enough to do things your own way.

Through solo episodes and honest conversations with creative entrepreneurs, artists, and founders, I’ll give you the mindset shifts, marketing moves, and business tools you need to grow with clarity, flow, and profitability.

You’ll learn how to build wealth on your terms, show up with confidence, and finally trust that you don’t have to choose between creativity and success, you get to have both.

So if you’re ready to step into your next level, grow your income, and build a business that actually works for your life, you’re in the right place.

Creatives Rule the World - EP206: How to Transform Your Website Homepage to Make More Sales
play

06/18/19 • 38 min

Did you know that when someone lands on your website you only have 30 seconds to make an impression?

Kinda scary, right?!?

After all of the love and hard work you pour into creating a beautiful page, a lot of the people who visit will be in and out in moments.

So how can you get them to stick around?? And better yet... how can you get them to actually CONVERT into sales?

It all comes down to the impression and the feeling they get when they visit your site.

If your website isn’t doing your product justice in terms of design, story and beyond... you’re actively LOSING sales and potential customers.

There are a few key components every homepage needs to really stand out and grab the attention of a potential customer...

As a designer or business owner, sometimes you’re a little too close to the problem to see whether what you have is really working or not.

That’s why we brought in Darian Chavez of DNC coaching (who also happens to be one of our amazing SOS coaches), to talk about how to transform your homepage to bring you more sales. You won’t want to miss all of the juicy knowledge she shared with us...

Creatives Rule the World - EP392: How to Grow Your Custom Jewelry Business in 2023
play

03/02/23 • 30 min

One of the best moves I ever made as a jewelry designer was scaling down my jewelry business to focus only on fine, custom jewelry for private clients.

The reason WHY I love it so much is because you can make so much more money per piece when you’re delivering an experience for someone.

It took me some time to get it going but when I did amazing things happened - the referrals from google, my previous customers, and social media started flooding in.

To this day, I barely need to market my jewelry business anymore to make multi-six figures a year working no more than 5 hours a week on the business.

If you've been considering upleveling your design game and launching or improving your current custom + fine jewelry offer, you’ll love today’s podcast

I’m breaking down some of the key things I set in motion to show you how to grow your custom jewelry business this year.

During This Episode I Chat About...

  • How I get consistent referrals from Google (with content I posted years ago)
  • The one “ASSET” on my website that helps me get customers to fill out my inquiry form and pay double their budget
  • My networking tip that has landed more clients than paid ads ever could
  • The process I use to get previous clients referring their friends and designing new pieces every season
  • And so much more!

I hope this episode inspires you to grow your custom + fine jewelry business this year!

Some designers think selling high price point jewelry is harder online, but Shehana Kimiangataue is here to prove otherwise.

She sells striking high-end jewelry with a cause. Her business used to rely primarily on retail sales, but when shelter-in-place hit, she immediately sought a quick and creative solution to keep sales flowing.

During a 2-hour virtual trunk show hosted on Facebook live, she managed to sell over $30,000 worth of jewelry.

Yes, you read that right!

So how did she do it? Let’s jump right in.

It takes a lot of courage to walk away from an abusive relationship. So, when your jewelry business is part of the reason that you’re able to get out, heal and move forward...

Well, that’s a true WHY for going all in on it!

On the podcast today, I interviewed a very courageous woman, Claire Steckel of Skoll and Jewelry.

She took a bet on herself to go all in on her jewelry business to quit her job, leave an abusive relationship, and lean into her strengths as a maker.

During the episode, we chat about...

  • Her design influences + pulling from multiple genres to create a signature style that’s her own
  • How her business helped her leave her abusive relationship and her 9-5
  • How she grew her business despite not being good at marketing
  • Insights into her 500% growth last year
